'Martha Speaks' comes to life on Pittsburgh stages

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Every dog has its day. Martha, the talking dog from children's literature, has lined up a few days here in Pittsburgh.

It's courtesy of the Pittsburgh International Children's Theater which has brought "Martha Speaks" to town with performances tonight and through the weekend.

"Martha Speaks," produced by Theatreworks USA in New York, is a stage production based on the kids' books and the PBS cartoon series. It's the story of a little girl's dog who happens to eat a bowl of alphabet soup and suddenly can talk. Naturally, having a talking dog leads to all sorts of fun adventures.
